Another Technics- original SL-1200

Well, not really an SL-1200, but the armless version, an SL-120.

However, an SME 3009 Improved II has been mounted- a factory option.

This will pair up with my SL-110, which is the armless SL-1100, the super-wide body model. This one also has an SME 3009 Improved II.



In given time, I'd like the Technics SP-10 with external power supply and Obsidian (volcanic glass) base. And with an EPA 100 or EPA 500 arm (Technics proprietary high-end arm).



I've got a few other tables- a Technics SL-1300 and SL-1700, non MK II, so no quartz locking. I kinda prefer the looks and simplicity of these earlier models, and the reliability they afford. However, one may find a home with a friend, the other may get customized or may become a work/office TT.



Lastly, I've got three Sony PS-X5 tables- though all have issues. Hoping to combine the three into two working units.

The X5 is, from what I can tell, the same as the X6 besides the X5's mechanical buttons and the X6's soft-touch electronic buttons. The X7 is the same as the X6, but with a carbon fibre tonearm.

If the above is correct, I'd like to grab an X7 arm and mount it on one of the X5s, but need to do more research....

Dude, you're becoming a turntable hoarder. Leave something for the rest of us.

Seven tables- something about TTs is just enticing.

I do aim to keep it to 4-6. Less, if I can find that I can live well with the fully manuals.
